Engaging Lakota Communities: Defining Your Role in American Indian Research

In the spring of 2015 the Community Engagement and Innovation Division of the Collaborative Research Center for American Indian Health partnered with two South Dakota tribes to host community research conferences. This project was supported by the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities of the National Institutes of Health under Award Number 1R13MD009548-01. The goal of these conferences was to bring together tribal leaders and research partners to report back to the communities what has been accomplished to address their health needs and future directions for continued health improvement.
